25 | A Post Licensing inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin O'Connell. A review of staff records on 06/23/21 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There is currently one adult living in the home.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The licensee and two assistants were supervising twelve children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 07:30AM to 04:30PM, Monday–Friday. The off-limits areas of the home are bedroom #3 and the garage, and were made inaccessible by means of a lock handle cover and a strap latch. The home was clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. The licensee has current pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, which expire on 08/2021. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were stored out of the reach of children. Licensee states that there are no poisons but can lock them in an outdoor shed. The fireplace has been made inaccessible with a secured screen. The wood burning stove was secured with a strap latch. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and a 3A40BC charged fire extinguisher. The Licensee states that there are no firearms or dangerous weapons and none were observed.
The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. Three staff files were reviewed at 11:30am and contained valid Mandated Reporter Certificates and immunizations. |
